Ephesians 6
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
wiles=μεθοδεία methodeia=cunning arts, deceit, craft, trickery
the devil=this is who this is talking about
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
high places=ἐπουράνιος epouranios-existing in heaven
the fight is against the deceit of the devil, who is in heaven
Revelation 12
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought
and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
this is where the dragon is, "in heaven", so who is the dragon?
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the
whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
self explanatory who this dragon is = serpent, Devil, Satan
popular culture etc., teaches that satan has horns and a pitchfork, and resides in a seperate place. We can
clearly see from a small piece of scripture that this is simply not the case. The devil, satan, serpent, dragon,
resides in heaven, awaiting the moment when he and his angels will be cast out.
Revelation 9
1 And the fifth angel sounded.............
GOD`S WORD IS TRUTH, NOT MAN`S WORD!!!!
